Non-linear problems have been studied by Krasnoselski, Browder, and others; in fact Browder and independently Kirk (cf., 1; 5) have proved the following remarkable theorem: let X be a uniformly convex Banach space, U a non-expansive mapping of a bounded closed convex subset C of X into C, i.e., ||Ux — Uy|| ⩽ ||xy|| for x, yC; then U has a fixed point in C. The aim of this paper is to give some existence theorems for non-linear functional equations in uniformly convex Banach spaces. Similar results may be found in (3 ; 6).
